Give all American children safety president's kids get

I keep hearing all kinds of suggestions about how we can keep children safe when they are in school. At the Sidwell School in Washington, DC, Sasha and Malia Obama have protection provided by the Secret Service. The school also has a Security Staff of 11 and actually has a job opening posted online.

I don't know if people heard NBC's David Gregory's vicious attack on NRA President Wayne LaPierre concerning security guards at school. I found Mr. Gregory's diatribe very strange indeed because his children actually attend the Sidwell school.

If you dismiss this by saying, "Of course they have armed guards, they get Secret Service protection," then you've missed the larger point.

The larger point is that this is standard operating procedure for the school. And this is the reason people like NBC's David Gregory send their kids to Sidwell, they know their kids will be protected from the carnage that befell kids at a school where armed guards weren't used. The children sit under the protection guns afford, while the children of regular Americans do not.

All children are precious in God's eyes, whether it be in school or in the wombs of their mothers. We need to do everything we can to protect this special gift from God.
